England's top-order, featuring Salt and Will Jacks, has been in terrific form, accumulating over 270 runs in the series.
Team Previews
West Indies Team Analysis
Rovman Powell's side finally found form in the last game, thanks to an impressive 136-run opening stand between Shai Hope and Evin Lewis. However, their bowlers need to step up to counter England’s power hitters. Key players like Nicholas Pooran and Shimron Hetmyer must deliver in the middle order, while bowlers such as Obed McCoy and Alzarri Joseph need early breakthroughs.
Predicted XI: Rovman Powell (c), Evin Lewis, Shai Hope, Nicholas Pooran, Shimron Hetmyer, Sherfane Rutherford, Roston Chase, Gudakesh Motie, Akeal Hosein, Romario Shepherd, Alzarri Joseph

Predicted XI: Jos Buttler (c), Philip Salt, Will Jacks, Jacob Bethell, Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone, Jamie Overton, Adil Rashid, Jofra Archer, John Turner, Rehan Ahmed
